Sumthing Of Everything…

…many such B-cubed journeys are taking place, some of them cannot be quite called as journeys as they are just one-stopped, where our home being the halt and also the destination.

On the travel scene, two quick drives to Pondicherry and Mudumalai. Pondicherry was as hot as ever. But the candle-light dinner buffet at a villa-style restaurant and the stay itself have paid it off. It was also nostalgic tracing all those houses in French colony which I had photographed 4 yrs ago. Its already been 4 yrs ! And drive towards Mysore always has been a treat. Mudumalai was not planned but how can I go till Mysore and not into the woods with Sunitha coming along with me for the first time ? Well, by woods I don’t mean Mudumalai, the place itself but into the sanctuary. So we started at 5 am in Mysore and been to the enchanting Gopalaswamy Betta. Coincidentally even in 2007 I was at the same place but just one day before (Jan 26th). Also just touched on the South Canara circuit with a weekend visit to Udupi, Mangalore, Sringeri and Dharmasthala. Now just waiting to see the spate of Jog in August. 

I have watched this movie called Babel which depicts the cause and effect relation between different incidents that take place in different parts of the world that changes lives of different people living in different situations over different time-lines. But the people in each of the situations are absolutely ignorant of the other incidents that have led them to the current situation and be completely clueless about why it happened to them. Its based on Chaos theory which is loosely based on some finding of underlying sequence in apparently random actions. Interestingly, Dasavatharam is based on the same Chaos theory however it only remains a good attempt and failed in proper showcasing the theory. However, it is a visual treat and at least 7 out of 10 roles played by Kamal are commendable.

Came across this survey which is supposed to reflect your political thinking. They call it Political compass  (http://www.politicalcompass.org). It is nice to compare the results with those of great politicians in present and past international political arena. They say its also accessible on facebook.  My result below is in the same quadrant as that of Nelson Madela, Mahatma Gandhi and Dalai Lama.
